Ok, it's kind of weird I don't know where to put this but general vehicle maintenance seems closest. Back when I was in the Army, part of a wheeled vehicle maintenance unit we had these soft sided drain pans for emergencies. Basically if you're working on a vehicle and something unexpected...

I'm looking for a better option to my 9qt Coleman cooler. http://amzn.to/2uTE9RE I LOVE this cooler sizewise but it can't keep ice for more than 24 hours. It's ideal for having behind the passenger seat so I can just reach back and grab a cold water or Pepsi while on the road, it holds 8...

There was lots of cool stuff at the most recent OR show. One that got me thinking was a Korean company that makes a self heating container for cooking food without a stove. http://honestfood.co.kr/product2/ It heats up to boiling temperature for about 15 minutes. Not ideal for cooking but fine...

An odd question but hear me out. What GOOD salt and pepper shakers are people using out there for their camp setups? I'm currently using these GSI salt and pepper shakers ( http://amzn.to/2u176Md ) and I hate them with a passion! Poorly designed camp equipment pisses me off and these take the...

Toyota in their infinite wisdom decided to discourage home mechanics from working on their Automatic Transmissions. They also made the claim that their WS transmission fluid was good for 100k and that you don't even need a dipstick to measure that the level has stayed the same over those 7-8...

Ok, maybe that's being a little too hard on myself. But I do feel that the trip beat me; I planned and prepared for everything but had to call an end to the trip early. Maybe some background first: The Maze district of Canyonlands is the least visited of the the section of the park. Growing...

I did a search to see if somebody had mentioned this before but didn't find anything. I was getting sick of bringing a whole bottle of mayo, mustard, and ketchup on trips because I was only going to use a small squirt on my sandwich or hamburger. Then they would inevitably fall in the melted...

I need some opinion on where to mount a CB antenna. The two options I have are a Mag mount on the center top of the roof of the truck, or on the fender opposite the FM radio antenna. I'm just kind of curious how much performance loss I'm seeing moving a CB antenna from the roof to the fender...
